All Stars

This weekend we finished up Parker's all-star season with a second place win in the regional tournament.  The boys all played their hearts out and even though we didn't get the first place win to move on to the state tournament, we could not be more proud of how they played. 

 

We have had a great all star season this summer.  It was a much better experience than last summer.  We didn't play every weekend so I actually felt like we had a little bit of a summer in between the practices and tournaments.  And the weather this summer was a little bit milder than last summer which helped a lot on those long tournament days.

Parker played pitcher most of the season and did a great job!  He started off the summer in a little bit of a hitting slump but was making great contact with the ball by the end of the season. 

His team did not have a good showing at the first tournament but with a lot of hard work and practice, they were able to improve and even finished in first place in one of our tournaments.  Parker was so proud of his first place trophy!

The highlight of our all star season was during the tournament we played on Father's Day.  Once again, we were up against Aledo Orange.  We had played them numerous times over the past two summers, both in t-ball and now in coach pitch, but were never able to beat them.  After a very hard fought game with a lot of amazing plays by our boys, we FINALLY beat Aledo Orange!  It was such a great moment for our boys (and the parents too)!  Even the umpires said it was the best game of the entire tournament!  The Aledo coaches and players were such gracious losers and asked to pray with us after the game.  It was a great win and definitely a Father's Day that Cory will never forget!

The winner of our last tournament advanced to the state tournament.  The boys played so hard but could not pull out another win against...you got it...Aledo Orange!.  We were still so proud of them for their second place finish. 

It was a great all star season! All of the boys improved so much and it was fun to watch them grow as a team.  We were so thankful to Coach Tony and Coach Scott for all of the time and effort they put into coaching our boys!  Parker learned so much from them and he is already looking forward to playing again in the fall!
